Briefing: Insights from the Digital Maturity Assessment Staff Survey

This event explored the challenges and opportunities surrounding productivity tools in the workplace, drawing on insights from a recent study of Scottish Government/COSLA staff. We discussed the impact of tools like O365, email, and calendars on employee efficiency, workload management, and overall productivity. Key themes included:

  • Barriers to Digital Adoption: Explore issues such as system accessibility, inadequate training, and compatibility challenges.
  • Impact on Different Staff Groups: Understand how the experiences of medical, nursing, and office-based staff differ, and address their unique needs.
  • Strategies for Improvement: How targeted training, streamlined processes, and infrastructure adjustments could help better leverage productivity tools.
